Earth Final Conflict DVD

Advantages: Excellent movie and very good DVD extras
Disadvantages: Some repetition of interviews

...to Middle-earth" (in-store special as shown by Houghton Mifflin) – Houghton Miffin passed away shortly after this interesting discussion of how the works of Tolkien were published; it details Houghton’s own personal experiences and friendship with Tolkien.
